Specification of Letters Patent.

mama Dec. 24., 1918.

Application filed April 10, 1918. Serial No. 227,720.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Louis C. BENNER, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Kerosene-Burner; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to heaters. It particularly relates to heaterscommonly used by tinsmiths for heating soldering irons and the like. Theobject of the invention is to produce a coal oil heater that will form aflame that will quickly heat the tools or devices or articles, and whichwill not produce excess of soot and carbon deposits, and will thusoperate to keep the tools or pots or whatever may be heated, clean.

The invention may be contained in dilferent forms of heaters. I haveselected one form, which, however, may be greatly modifled in thedetails of its construction and yet such modifications may still containthe invention. The heater selected is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings. I

Figure 1 is an end view of the heater, Fig. 2 is a side View, Fig. 3 isa top View of the cover, Fig. 4 is a top view of the heater, the coverhaving been removed, Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the burner, and Fig.6 is an end view of the burner. V

1, Fig. 1, is the frame for supporting the parts of the heater. A tank 2is located in the frame. The tank has an air pump 3 and a funnel 4through which the oil may be poured into the tank 2. It may be closedwith a cap 5. A pipe 6 connects with the tank 2 and conveys the oil tothe burner. A valve 7 may be connected to the pipe 6 to regulate theflow of oil caused by the pressure of air produced by the pump 3. Thepipe 6 passes up from the valve 7 and across the bottom of the hood. Thehood or container 8 is formed of two parts 10 and 11. The part 10 issecured to the frame 1, while the part 11 is pivoted to the part 10 bymeans of the pintle 12 that extends through suitable ears formed on theparts 10 and 11. The flame is directed into the container 8 and isprotected by the walls of the container. Air is permitted to enterthrough holes 13 formed in the bottom of the part 10. Also if desired,holes 14: may be formed in the upper side edges of the part 10. The part11 may be locked in closed relation to the part 10 by means of thescrews 15 that are threaded into lugs 16 and which may be threaded intoopenings 17 formed in the part 10. One end of the part 11 is open toreceive the tools or other articles that are to be heated by the flame.The top of the part 11 is provided with an annular opening 18. It isalso provided with dampered openings 19. The opening 18 affords inconjunction with the openings 13, sufiicient ventilation for the flamewhen drafts exist or when the heater is located in a breezy or windyplace. The d-ampered openings 19 permit variation of the ventilation andmay be used when the heater is located in a shop or in a building. Asuitable bail 20 may be connected to the part 11 for carrying theheater. The burner of the heater is made readily removable, it beingprotected and secured in position by means of a plate 21 that is securedin position by the screws 15 when they are turned a suiiicient distancethrough the lugs 16. The burner 22 is located in a slot 23 formed in oneend of the part 10 of the container or hood. It has a laterallyextending part 2 1 which, together with an elbow in the pipe 6, locksthe burner in position to prevent outward movement of the burner. Theplate 21 not only affords a means for protecting the burner, but alsoforms a shelf which renders convenient the placing and the holding ofthe tools while they are being heated by he heater. The burner isconnected with the pipe 6 which extends not only across the center ofthe bottom of the part 10, but also extends along one side and beneaththe flame produced by the burner. It connects with a portion 25 of theburner which is provided with a passageway that extends upward to thetop of the burner. The portion 25 communicates also with a passage-way26 extending across the top of the burner and this in turn communicateswith a passage-way 27 that extends along the burner and down to behindthe tip 28 of the burner. The passage-way is closed by means of thevalve 29 which regulates the supply of the fuel to the tip 28. Inwardmovement of the valve is limited by means of the stop pin 30, whichabuts against an adjustable ring 31 located on the stem of the flame,the slot 34: being located in the lip of the burner which inclinesupward. The gas is thus given a downward direction and caused to spreadover the lower wall or lip 35 and in doing so, the portion of the pipe 6is heated by the flame. The flame enters the I hood 8 and by reason ofthe upward draft produced by the heated air, causes the flame to risetoward the tools which are placed in the hood. Also the upwardinclination of the lip35 directs the flame so as to spread itself overthe tools. The burner is thus located below the handles of the toolsthat are placed on the plate 21 and the flame is directed by the burneraway from the handles and toward the ends of the tools that are insertedin the hood 8.

The burner is provided with a cup 36 which is located below a chamber orpas sage-way 37 formed in the burner 22. The tip 28 is located at thetop of the chamber 37. The edge of the cup 36 onthree of its sides islocated at a point slightly removed from the body of the burner andmoreover,

the edges extend outside of the edges of the chamber 37. The cup 36 maybe filled with oil or the valve 29 may be opened a short distance whichwill permit the oil to drip through the chamber 37 andinto the cup 36.To start the burner, the oil collected or placed in the cup 36 may beignited which will produce the requisite preliminary heating of theburner in order that it may be of the lips inclined upward from thebottom of the passageway.

In a heater, a tip, a passageway in clined downward from the aXis of thetip, a

pair of flame spreading lips, one of the lips inclined upward from thebottom of the passageway, and passageways located in the edge of thelips and communicating with the source of fuel supply and the tip.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to thisspecification.
